Safety Poem

I have attached a copy of a poem displayed on the notice board on a construction site. It reminds me of how important our job is.

I Could Have Saved a Life Today 

I could have saved a life today
but I chose to look the other way.

It wasn’t that I didn’t care,
I had the time, and I was there.

                          So I shook my head and walked on by,                       

 he knew the risks as well as I.

                    He took the chance, I closed an eye,                   

                                          and with that act, I let him die.                                      

I could have saved a life today,
but I chose to look the other way.

Now every time I see his wife,
I’ll know I should have saved his life.

That guilt is something I must bear,

                                                                     but it isn’t something you need to share.

If you see a risk that others take,
that puts their health or life at stake.

The question asked, or thing you say,
could help them live another day.

If you see a risk and walk away,
then hope you never have to say

I could have saved a life today,
but I chose to look the other way

Please Try to know safety and make others to know safety !
